Jalan Khemah, Bukit Gelugor

Jalan Khemah, Bukit Gelugor, Penang (22 January 2020)


Jalan Khemah is a small hill road in Bukit Gelugor, on the southern part of George Town, Penang. It is the road that runs up the hill, forming junctions with the other roads that encircle Bukit Gelugor such as Lengkok Bawah, Jalan Pekeliling and Lengkok Atas. Jalan Khemah reaches down from the top of Bukit Gelugor to its foot, where it is met by two roads, Jalan Utara in the north and Jalan Selatan in the south. These two run parallel to present-day Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah.

The name "khemah" means "camp". This is probably due to the encampment of the Police Volunteer Reserve in the area in the mid 20th century, when the land was developed from plantation land for residential purposes.

Getting there

Rapid Penang 206 stops along Green Lane, near the junction with Yeap Chor Ee Road. From there, walk along Jalan Utara to reach Jalan Khemah.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
